Agile in a Flash 33

Agile in a Flash by Jeff Langr and Tim Ottinger (card #33)

> Cooperation: Focus on shared goals
> Information: Feedback loops closed
> Humanity: Respect for struggles of others
> Equality: Recognition of peers
> Energy: Common effort toward common problems

--
Agile teams require close collaboration, but transitioning agile teams often struggle because of poor working relationships among team members. With these five shared values, you will find that you can usually put aside personal issues and past history to work successfully together.
Cooperation. Focus on the work you do together, and try to make the team successful instead of jockeying for position
Information. Look for ways to determine whether the new work system is producing good results. Prepare to give and receive honest feedback. Be increasingly
transparent.
Humanity. Teach and learn. Be humane to teammates by being patient when your strengths are not equal or their circumstances and training differ from
your own.
Equality. Neither a take-credit nor a blame-shoveler be.

Energy. Do not exhaust the people you work with. Keep up. Work hard when working, and then go home after seven to nine hours.
